Choose the option that does not fit the pattern. Examine the words and/or phrases below and determine the relationship among the majority of words/phrases. Choose the option that does not fit the pattern. A. continental volcanic arc B. continental rise C. continental shelf D. continental slope

A). Continental volcanic arc

Explanation:

As per the question, the phrase 'continental volcanic arc' does not fit the pattern as it is 'formed through the reduction of the oceanic plate under the continental plate.' While the other three 'continental rise,' 'continental slope,' and 'continental shelf' together contribute to make the 'continental margin.' It is the area that covers the boundary of the continental crust that contains mostly floating materials with three different portions with distinct depths at the verge of the rise, slope, and shelf levels. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

the answer is the last option or letter d)
